"Not what I expected"

I know every carving is different and not going match the picture. But the one I got was painted solid, cant see any grain. And it feels light and plastic. I was expecting a bit heavier and I did weight it and it was only about 0.1LB lighter than the listed weight. This is first item I ever returned with probably 30+ orders. I did have to say overall the price on Novica is getting a little out the hand, the full price must have gone up 25-50% over the last 3-4 years. Not sure all that increase benefits the artisans or the Novica staff...

"Side table"

I love this piece and am using next to an accent chair. It is a bit lower than I would like and would not hold a lot but is enough for my purposes. Makes for a great conversation piece.

"Exquisite detail"

This is a marvelous, intricately carved piece of art. The dappled finish on the wood brings the rhino to life. Love it!
